Renaissance Papers is a collection of the best scholarly essays on
all aspects of the Renaissance submitted each year to the
Southeastern Renaissance Conference, organized originally in the
early 1950s by scholars at Duke University and the universities of
North and South Carolina. This year's annual volume, the
forty-sixth to be published by the Conference and the fourth by
Camden House, is the most substantial ever, containing twelve
articles. Five articles on Shakespeare range from alchemy and
hermaphroditism in Sonnet 20 to Leontes and skepticism in The
Winter's Tale. There are two pieces on Milton, one involving his
feminine representation of himself as author, the other attempting
a breakthrough in interpretation of Samson Agonistes. There are
also literary studies of Mucedorus, the most popular play in the
English Renaissance, and of Spenser's two female protagonists,
Britomart and Amoret. There are also an examination of the power
struggles in an Italian convent, a new assessment of Stephen
Gardiner's role in the Counter-Reformation in England, and a study
of the early characteristics of Cromwell in the press of the
English Civil War.
Articles on works of Marlowe, Spenser, Shakespeare, Donne, Marston,
Webster, Jonson, Mary Wroth, and Milton; and two historical
articles on aspects of the court of King James I. Renaissance
